Not much to say on this recorder. It performs all the tasks for which it is intended. It vibrates little compared to my old writer and arrives well enough to move from old patties (I took advantage of this new drive to DVD playable on recovered platinum and my old burner). However, do not expect a high-end player. The finish is any. But at that price ... This is quite logical. :) Anyway, good writer and a good player for a very decent price.
